Of course, the brain registers numerous data on daily basis. To fetch from the repository of data, equivalent to memory, & apply to a painstakingly assessed situation or scenario appropriately can be tagged knowledge. This is factor to a reliable memory & a reputable insight.
Data, knowledge et al are intertwined with other factors party to their dependence on each other.

Your critical review of the subject matter in a poetic fashion is amiable. Thumbs

Thank you, Weird Mask Man! (Which, by the way, has to be one of the best online name I have ever heard!) But I think it is clear that your knowledge on the science of the subject far exceeds mine. From my point of view, I guess mostly what I wanted to point out is that one needs to reflect on one’s capabilities and knowledge from a posture of humility…an act that I personally oftenstruggle with. Hence this reminder of its importance.

But I appreciate very much your kind comment and welcome to you to the Book of Pain!

John, I love this. In my younger days before I became a Baha’i, I had a whole different understanding of surrender. I made a 180 on that and sacrifice and you said it best in the last stanza. Love your beautiful insights.

BTW, my daughter is the editor of nineteen months and Vahid. Love your stuff in those publications!

Kathleen, that is wonderfully kind of you to say. Thank you! And also for your lovely comments on my contributions to nineteenmonths.com and to Vahid magazine. To be honest I usually feel that I am struggling just to keep up with the competition! Both publications have such wonderful and deep artistic resources. I feel honored to be a part of the group, in both spots. 🙂

I often have a similar argument with myself but usually I focus more on “what is it to be eloquent?” “do intelligence and eloquence correlate?” “just because I can explain something is that the same as understanding it?” A great example of poetry taking a more philosophical stance.

Thank you so much! To be honest, I am actually amazed at how a poem that I worried would be too ‘dry’ or religious for people has elicited such a positive feedback. And especially feedback that is as eloquent and thoughtful as your own. 🙂
